What some sources say is the longest continuous street in America is Denver's Colfax Avenue which is considered 40 miles long, however its name changes as it moves further east from the city, making some to believe it ends earlier than it does.
However, if one wants a more definite answer, the longest continuous street in America is Chicago's Western Avenue which goes at about 23.5 miles all the way from the city's most northern street Howard Street all the way down to the far south side of the city.
Oh, and by the way Yonge Street in Toronto, Canada is the longest street in the world at about 1178 miles long!
